Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a climate control system of a vehicle are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises: determining a solar azimuth angle curve associated with point of interest; determining at least one intersection point between the azimuth angle curve and at least one line that defines at least one edge of a transparent element of the vehicle; determining whether the point of interest is shaded or not shaded based on the at least one intersection point; and automatically controlling the climate control system based on the determination of whether the point of interest is shaded or not shaded.
